A cool blue
April day—
And I’m happy

I will not pay
For this apostasy
However brazen its ecstasy
Either now or later
When I open the door
To my own home

They say
Misery loves company
And certainly history
Has shown it persistently
Seeking any man alone

Yet greater love
Has God for fools
Absorbing light
In their solitudes

Clouds ride across
The Eastern sky
Above my head
A robin sings

Very interesting poem.

A cool blue
April day—
And I’m happy

He is happy

I will not pay
For this apostasy
However brazen its ecstasy
Either now or later
When I open the door
To my own home

He is even happier for a better reason.

They say
Misery loves company
And certainly history
Has shown it persistently
Seeking any man alone

He is  happy  that his happiness is against the odds.

Yet greater love
Has God for fools
Absorbing light
In their solitudes

? very philosophic.
God makes fool's life even darker even if the fool does meditation? (punishment?)


Clouds ride across
The Eastern sky
Above my head
A robin sings

light is blocked by clouds in east.
while he is feeling happy in Robin's singing.

John,

A few apostasies now and again never hurt anyone.

This is very good writing, and thanks for the new word.

Intriquing ideas expressed.  Now I must look up apostasis(spelling?) Thanks for sharing
